To me, I feel for him as a parent but the fact that he has spent exponentially more time on smearing Brian Kelly for not visiting than the medical team that actually did the surgery tells me alot. You'd think that he would spend the bulk of his time hitting on the malpractice side of things but it seems like basically every interview is about Kelly which kinda pushes me to believe he's trying to win this in the COPO to push for a settlement from LSU.

He chastises Kelly for not being there when Greg came out of surgery even though Kelly was with his team in Starkville for a game.
It’s absurd.

In their defense, Brooks Jr is going to need around the clock care for the rest of his life. Which more than likely will be beyond the parents lives. What parent wants to have this burden placed upon their child....none. While I don't necessarily agree with the story changes, what I can obviously sympathize with is, they want someone to blame for the apparent delay in care/diagnosis of the tumor. Thinking an earlier detection could have kept Jr away from a life of need and burden.

Yep. That kinda goes to the point too. Does it really matter if Kelly went or not? Did Brian Kelly being there or not being there change his medical care at all? It just smells like a smear campaign to me trying to push LSU to a quiet and quick settlement to avoid the public backlash.
Even Ryan Clark pushed back on him about how rare Greg's condition was and it would've been easy to miss even for seasoned doctors and trainers. This all just seems like a terrible set of circumstances but other than the docs who did the surgery, I don't really know that there's anyone to blame. Just sucks.

The family's behavior is not all that rare for people that have just went through heavy trauma. Their anger is misguided but it is hard to blame them in this moment
Hard to blame Brooks Sr for fricking lying about the situation in pubiic when there are coaches who have been fricking fired backing Kelly’s version of events over them? Even Clark sets him straight here. frick all the way off with this shite. Grief doesn’t excuse greed or misguided revenge. One of those two or both are what’s happening right now.

Correct. And five weeks from the onset of symptoms to brain surgery for a 22-year-old guy is actually pretty fast. No medical staff in that scenario is going to go directly from complaints of a headache to scanning you for a brain tumor. Could it have been caught sooner? Maybe. Would that have meaningfully changed the outcome? Almost certainly, no.

People want someone/something to blame when horrible things happen. The sad reality though is that sometimes bad things just happen and it's not really anyone's fault. Just because a terrible thing happened doesn't make it okay to blame someone for that terrible thing that really isn't at fault, especially smearing them publicly.

Ryan Clark is a piece of shite and we don't claim him.

you seem like a well balanced person

Man that dad making things just look awful on himself. He's looking like a fool. Coach went 2 days after surgery. Perfectly fine for a non immediate family member to do. Then 4 days after that. Again normal. Hell, I probably would have given it a week. Brian Kelly supposed to move in? That's buddy's coach, not his entire support system. Now for the next 10 years, LSU will not want anything to do with the Brooks family.

I totally agree. But what I will say to that is that I sympathize with them, and I can understand that they want to blame someone. Even though it appears in this case, something bad just happened, and nobody is to blame. They are suing because they feel someone is to blame. They are gong to be stuck caring for him for the rest of their/his lives. The anger part of that, is the pettiness of calling out coaches for not visiting him enough or at all.....
I am just heartbroken for them as a parent. Nobody wants that for their child. But I am a rational adult and I realize that this is just an unfortunate situation.

appears to be a shameless attempt at a money grab, wtf do they expect the coach(es) to do? I have a son that had a seizure a few years back and was medivaced a hospital for emergency brain tumor removal, I spent 45 days in ICU with him and he's a seizure away today from him being my permanent child for life, honestly I was sick of people coming to the hospital, I appreciated their concern and well wishes but it was a stressful time for him and my wife

Knowing how coaches act during recruiting vs when you are on the roster, and then no longer on the roster. My guess is they want the coaches to be stuck up Jr's arse until he's 100% back to normal. Both of which are not going to ever happen.

LSU traveled to Starkville that day to play Miss. State on the 16th. They would have returned home that night. He was at the hospital the next day.
not only that, we dont have any idea when GBJr was out of ICU and whether they put him in a medically induced coma for recovery
GBSr is making accusations that dont really stand up. At what point did the family start speculating and looking to blame LSU. That moment is when Kelly and everyone on staff was told by LSU Legal Team to stop engaging with the Brooks family.

But his dad Greg Brooks Sr has changed the story many times. He’s claiming Kelly never called or visited but that’s all been proving false. Kelly has visited him and called him on different occasions.

Also screw Ryan Clark
He challenged the Dad when the Dad claimed Kelly never showed up or called. He was honest and called him out, stating he saw Kelly there himself, so then the Dad changed the story from never calling or showing up to now having showed up 4 times.
The takeaway from everyone here is how bad RC is and how he's stirring shite up, when he just basically called out the Dad as a liar, and backed up Brian Kelly right there on camera.

If you watch the interview, Clark probed him repeatedly, corrected him (saying Kelly, Frank, etc. visited Brooks in the hospital and called him).
I get everyone hating Clark but he did nothing wrong in this interview.
The reaction to Clark in this thread are pretty funny, with how misguided they are and blind with their hatred.

That's not true
I get he's upset, he's a dad understandably so. His son is a very bad situation. Let's not exaggerate and smear egg here. This doesn't help anyone or anything in any way
